Job Description

You will be part of a multi-disciplinary product team that designs, builds and ships full stack web applications that directly support organisational operations and decision-making. A key focus of this role is the development of an internal chat assistant powered by production AI, purpose-built to augment the productivity and capabilities of staff across the organisation. You are a motivated self-starter who takes initiative, thrives in a collaborative environment, takes ownership of features end-to-end and cares deeply about the quality and reliability of code running in production.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop and deploy scalable full stack features across the frontend and backend, from user-facing interfaces to APIs and data layers
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code with unit, functional and end-to-end test coverage
  • Maintain and improve the reliability of production systems – including monitoring, debugging and resolving production issues
  • Participate actively in peer code reviews, enforcing best practices around code style, testability, performance and security
  • Collaborate with designers and product stakeholders to co-create practical user-centric solutions
  • Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing within the team
  • Participate in Agile Scrum ceremonies and iterative delivery cycles

Requirements

  • Background in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
  • Demonstrable hands-on exposure to shipping and maintaining software through industry experience, internships, open-source contributions or personal projects
  • Proficiency in full stack web technologies – frontend frameworks (e.g. ReactJS) and backend frameworks (e.g. Spring Boot/Java)
  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design with familiarity in microservices architecture
  • Familiarity with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control and build tools (e.g. Git, Maven)
  • A motivated self-starter who can independently drive tasks to completion, proactively identify problems and propose solutions without needing close supervision
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a growth mindset
  • Fresh graduates with demonstrable project experience – including internships, open-source contributions, or personal projects – are welcome to apply.

  • Applicants with greater experience will be considered for Senior Software Engineer positions.

Nice-to-have

  • Experience with any one of these areas: Agentic AI systems, Large Language Models (LLMs), and the LangChain toolkit – including building and maintaining LLM-powered workflows or agents in production
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and object storage (e.g. MinIO)
  • Familiarity with search technologies such as ElasticSearch or Solr
  • Experience with messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
  • Exposure to observability and monitoring tooling (e.g. Elastic Stack, Prometheus, Grafana)
  • Familiarity with graph databases (e.g. Neo4J)

Why Join Us

  • Work on meaningful products that create real operational impact
  • Ownership over features from conception through to production deployment and beyond
  • A collaborative team that invests in deepening both your core stack expertise and adjacent technical interests
  • Opportunities to grow into senior engineering or technical lead responsibilities
